Well, I don't know about 98-02 but I've driven a 94 for about 2 1/2 years now and I've of course noticed some visibility problems. Aside from the obvious long nose issue, (you just hafta know it's there!
the absence of any sort of "rear side window" (I don't know the technical name) sometimes makes it impossible to see anything on the passenger side inbetween your side window and rear window. I'm 5'9" which is pretty average male height and don't really notice any other glaring visibility issues. Coming from a 87 Buick Sommerset the lack of windows took some getting used to at first but eventually you learn to rely on your mirrors more and er on the side of caution when coming close to objects and dealing with your blind spots.
